Blacks were disproportionately likely to commit homicide and to be the victims. In 2008 the offending rate for blacks was seven times higher than for whites and the victimisation rate was six times higher.
As we found yesterday, 93 per cent of black victims were killed by blacks and 84 per cent of white victims were killed by whites.
Alternative statistics from the FBI are more up to date but include many crimes where the killer's race is not recorded. These numbers tell a similar story.
In 2013, the FBI has black criminals carrying out 38 per cent of murders, compared to 31.1 per cent for whites. The offender's race was "unknown" in 29.1 per cent of cases.
What about violent crime more generally? FBI arrest rates are one way into this. Over the last three years of data – 2011 to 2013 – 38.5 per cent of people arrested for murder, manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault were black.
Clearly, these figures are problematic. We're talking about arrests not convictions, and high black arrest rates could be taken as evidence that the police are racist.

that the proportion of black suspects arrested by the police tends to match closely the proportion of offenders identified as black by victims in the National Crime Victimization Survey.
This doesn't support the idea that the police are unfairly discriminating against the black population when they make arrests.
So why are black offenders – and young black men in particular – over-represented in America's crime statistics?
Judging from online comments, there is a wide spectrum of views on this, from unapologetic racism to militant refusal to blame the problem on anything but historic white racism.
Some criminologists think we could be simply confusing race for poverty or inequality: black people tend to offend more because they tend to be more disadvantaged, living in poorer urban areas with less access to public services, and so on.
If you control for deprivation, people of different races ought to be similarly predisposed to commit crime. Or that's the theory, at least.
There is a lot of research in this area, but a lot of it is contradictory.

of violent crime in deprived neighbourhoods in Cleveland, Ohio, found that reductions in poverty led to reductions in the crime rate in exactly the same way in predominantly black and white areas, suggesting poverty, not race, is the biggest factor.

get different results.
All sociologists have suffered from the same basic problem: finding urban white communities that are as disadvantaged as the poorest black neighbourhoods, so that you can get a fair comparison.
Thanks to streaming music services, record labels reported record-breaking revenue last year. In 2017, the 'big three' made an estimated

In our report published last year, Digital Music News found that Napster had the highest payouts. After just 90,000 plays on the platform, artists would earn the US monthly minimum wage of $1,472. In contrast, Spotify and YouTube, arguably the largest streaming music services, had the worst payouts. The Swedish music platform had a per-stream rate of $0.0038. With over 1.1 billion users, artists would receive just $0.0006 per play on YouTube.
So how are things one year later?
This year, The Trichordist took a look at the most recent data from a major indie label. The label has a catalog of 200+ albums that generate over 200 million streams annually. It's a representative sample, though it still excludes closed-door deals with major labels (including hefty advances and preferred advertising slots).
In today's article, we'll only list the streaming music platforms with reported US market share amounts.
"Tec"Technology is not a silver bullet. It's only as good as the teachers … using it as one more tool to help inspire, and teach, and work through problems."
— President Barack Obama, November 19, 2014
A fast-growing world of technologies, and the extraordinary quantity and reach of content on the Internet, have the potential to bring remarkable new possibilities to teaching and learning—helping teachers work smarter and making learning more engaging for students.
A wide range of technological innovations can help teachers make schools into incubators of exploration and invention. Such innovations also can help educators to become collaborators in learning, seeking new knowledge while continuously acquiring new skills alongside their students.
All of that is possible when schools have appropriate technology, fast Internet connections, and supports that train educators to use new technologies and allow them to ensure the security and privacy of students' information.
All of that is possible when schools have appropriate technology, fast Internet connections, and supports that train educators to use new technologies and allow them to ensure the security and privacy of students' information.
Today, however, less than a third of educators say their school's Internet connection meets their teaching needs. Although 91 percent of teachers have access to computers in their classrooms, less than a quarter say they have the right level of technology. And teachers do not get enough training and support to integrate technology in their classrooms and lessons. President Obama has called for a
Angara Emerald Infinity Knot Pendant with Diamonds t6yWcTXTt
called ConnectED, with the goal of providing high-speed broadband and wireless to 99 percent of students and improving the skills of teachers—providing every educator in America with support and training to integrate technology into classroom lessons.
In 2010, the National Educational Technology Plan established a vision for how technology could provide students with access to engaging digital resources, opportunities to collaborate with peers and experts, and powerful tools to solve real problems as an integral part of their learning experience. The plan also aims to ensure that affordable devices are available to support students' digital learning, teachers are prepared to thrive in connected classrooms, and high-quality digital learning resources are available to teachers and students at any time and any place.
The United States is one of the safest places in the world to live. Our crime rate is very low when we control for race. According to the CDC murder at the hands of a young black male is the leading cause of death for young black males. White murder victims tend to be much older, in their late 40s.
It is NOT a race or poverty issue, it IS a mindset or cultural issue when anyone's mind is raised on and fed the crap that all there problems are because of someone, that all bad things are because of someone else, that they cannot improve because of someone else. Guess who they are going to target…….. that someone else
This information and even comments are all wrong and mostly daft.
The is a suggestion that black pigmentation in ones skin has a relation to the propensity to commit crime. This is utter nonsense. The statics and demographics applied here need revision.
I believe the economic conditions that people are in, may have more play to observable behaviour. A better comparison to arrive at black/white crime rates must necessarily hold wealth at constant. Compare whites/blacks from the exact same locale.
My guess rate will be exactly the same since skin colour has no relation to disposition to commit crime.
Thank you.
I think that sadly. Race is a factor.. not because skin tone makes one better or worse. . But genealogy does matter. . Violence runs in the genes. Bad attitudes and criminal practices are handed down through family genes and family teachings. A large percentage of the black people in America descended from criminals that africa didn't want. That is not the only factor. But its a big factor that everyone seems to overlook. Poverty is an issue.. also the "cool" factor among the black community. . America's laws are considered "white laws" by the black community. . And if a black man wants to follow those laws, he is labeled an uncle tom by most of his peers and loses most his peer and even his family support. Effectively being black balled for not being a mindless robot that represents the hateful rebellious rap community.
Poverty breeds crime, but crime also breeds poverty. Crime drives all the business's along with the jobs out of the community. Look at those Maryland riots, they robbed and looted so many stores and business's, then burned them to the ground. Those business's most likely employ black people. Vandalizing, looting and burning those stores and business's, is not social justice, it's crime! Now all those black people that worked there are unemployed. Biting the hand that feeds them! Not only that, on a day to day basis imagine being a store owner and having a gun shoved in your face or being mugged? Why would a store owner want to stay? Chances are that owner is going to pack up and leave! There goes the jobs, not to mention the food, goods and services. Think of every time a gang has a shootout in front of a school yard, who gets killed in the crossfire, a little black kid. When an elderly person gets mugged and beat up, it's usually an elderly black citizen. The black leaders, clergy and parents have to speak up and speak out! Stay in school, don't do drugs, don't rob people, don't get pregnant, get a job, etc. There are countless people that start out with nothing and try to make something of themselves. People have to take responsibility and stop blaming everybody else and stop acting like the victim!

One thing that might surprise a lot of people about Philadelphia is that we have a HUGE vegetarian population, and a long history of veggie friendly restaurants that sort of fly under the radar. Blackbird's location right off of South Street is actually the former home of Gianni's Grill (now closed)—for a long time one of the few places in town to get a vegetarian cheesesteak. Blackbird opened 2 years ago, an all vegan Philly-style pizzeria and sandwich shop.
More gas-deck slice shop than high-end pizzeria, the crust on Blackbird's double wide slices is better than most slice joints in Philly. Sturdy but not tough and chewy, and nicely charred. The red sauce is also a nice departure from the usual Philly sweet stuff, more like roughly crushed tomatoes, applied sparingly. Even the vegan sausage on the South Philly (also topped with eggplant, broccoli rabe and shaved fennel) was pretty good.
But the fake vegan daiya "cheese" they use is definitely an acquired taste. It must be heaven for vegans who haven't had dairy in 5 years, but to me it tastes like something you would find growing in the corner of your refrigerator. I feel like their pizza would be phenomenal without it, but then again If I were vegan I might travel halfway across the country for something like this. They do offer a few pies without the fake cheese, not available by the slice when I was there. Great crust, sauce and fresh toppings, but if you aren't vegan, it's probably worth it to custom order a whole pie sans daiya.

BB boot for Will And Grace's Jordan
Leslie Jordan has become the second housemate to be evicted from Celebrity Big Brother.
The US actor - best known for his role in comedy series Will And Grace - was booted out of the house after polling the lowest number of public votes.
Asked if he was surprised at being voted off, he said: "Not even two days ago the public had voted me the most entertaining house member.
Channel 5 handout photo of Leslie Jordan as he is evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house, at Elstree Studios, Borehamwood.
"I allowed people to get to me, I was screaming and cursing. I guess that's entertainment."
Jordan's career includes appearances with big names including George Clooney, Faye Dunaway, and Robert Downey Jr.
He found himself at the centre of fiery confrontations in the house.
Kellie Maloney, who used to be known as Frank and managed ex-heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis, was reprimanded for calling Jordan a "little queen".
The actor also had a furious run-in with Angelique "Frenchy" Morgan.
After being shown footage of him losing his temper in the house, Jordan said: "That's so hard, I could weep ... that's not me."
Earlier this week former Gladiator David McIntosh became the first contestant to leave the Channel 5 show.
During the show Gogglebox star George Gilbey, US actor Gary Busey and boxer Audley Harrison were told they were safe after polling the most votes.

Read the transcript for the Introduction to the TPSP video (PDF)
The Texas Performance Standards Project (TPSP) is a resource for providing differentiated instruction to gifted/talented (G/T) students (and can be used for providing enhanced academic opportunities for all students). The TPSP provides a coherent package of standards, curriculum, and assessments for use in G/T programs from kindergarten through high school.
The goal of the TPSP is to provide resources for G/T teachers and students that allow students to create professional quality work in alignment with the Texas State Plan for the Education of Gifted/Talented Students.
At each grade level, the TPSP provides guidelines for independent learning experiences and research projects that teachers can adapt and use with their G/T students. The projects, or "tasks," are based on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and focus on the foundation content areas of English language arts and reading, mathematics, science, and social studies with interdisciplinary connections.
This website provides TPSP materials for the following grade-level spans:
For kindergarten through grade 10, the TPSP offers two or more interdisciplinary units (tasks) per grade level. Aligned with the TEKS, each task includes guided instruction and opportunities for independent research in multiple content areas. At exit level, the TPSP supports an extended independent study under the guidance of a mentor who is an expert in the student's area of study.
The TPSP can be used to design or enhance your G/T programming, and resources can be incorporated into any existing class. At the exit level, course credit may be earned for independent studies conducted in state-approved courses.
We encourage G/T coordinators and teachers and school and district administrators to explore the resources available on this website for serving G/T students.

50 Tunisian Stitches
If you are wanting a library of unique Tunisian stitches, then this is the book for you

The stitch directions are not clear. The only illustration with each stitch is the same one showing how to insert into the back of the beginning chain. Beautiful illustrations, but virtually useless to learn how to do the stitches. A waste of money.
January 25, 2014
I really like this new Tunisian Crochet Book. The cover is bright and beautiful and I love browsing through all the beautiful colorful photographs of each stitch listed. It gives a nice closeup photo of each stitch. If you are new to Tunisian crochet, the basic information in the beginning of the book has lots of color photographs to help you get started. The stitch dictionary starts with all the basic Tunisian stitches and then moves onto the more intermediate ones. The directions seem clear and easy to understand. A diagram at the beginning of each new stitch shows you exactly where to start the new stitch. The book also includes 4 'get-started' patterns.
January 21, 2014
TLDR: There are no illustrations for the various tunisian stitches, so I overpaid for a hat pattern and a list of stitches to Google later. I love tunisian crochet - dunno why, but I do. So I bought this to expand my knowledge beyond TSS, TKS, and TPS, but I'm not sure how much it's going to help. There are beautiful, close-up, color photos of a swatch of each stitch. There is a diagram at the beginning of each stitch instruction show exactly what is meant by "back loop of the chain." There's even a comprehensive stitch guide at the end of the book showing illustrations of regular crochet stitches. However, there are NO illustrations that correspond to the text in the instructions (other than the chain already mentioned). "Insert hook under back strand of next vertical bar" doesn't really explain what I'm supposed to do. Do I do this from the wrong side? Am I going to work it like a back post? Does it go between the posts, and therefore "under" the back post? (It doesn't - I've done this and it looks completely different than the swatch picture.) Essentially, I just paid 12.95 for three patterns (a fair price, even though I'll only ever make one of them), and a list of tunisian stitches for me to Google in order to find out how they're made.

MONTREAL – Changing his lines in the third period paid off for Boston Bruins coach Claude Julien.
Julien moved rising star Tyler Seguin onto a unit with David Krejci and Milan Lucic and it produced the tying and winning goals on its first two shifts as the Bruins downed the Montreal Canadiens 2-1 on Wednesday night.
"We needed to create more scoring chances because we didn't have many in the first two periods, so we tweaked the lines a bit and the guys responded well," said Julien as the Bruins improved to 7-1-1 and maintained their hold on first place in the Northeast Division.
"That Krejci line's been awesome for us but tonight they weren't able to generate much, so I said, 'Let's move guys around here and give them a little spark' and it worked out. Look at Siggy driving the net on that first goal."
Seguin sneaked in front to take a Krejci pass and lift it over Carey Price to tie the game only 14 seconds into the third period.
The speedy young centre then slipped the puck to the left wing on a rush and Lucic fed it in front. The onrushing Krejci got there just before Montreal centre Tomas Plekanec to tip it in at 2:05.
P.K. Subban scored his first of the season on a second period power play for Montreal, which was stoned by Tuukka Rask while outshooting Boston 11-4 in the opening frame.
The Canadiens (6-3-0) ended a five-game home winning run.
"We played well in the first period, but starting in the second we kind of backed up," said defenceman Andrei Markov, who picked up his ninth point in as many games. "We stopped playing our game."
Boston outshot Montreal 23-22.
The Canadiens play Thursday night in Buffalo before facing the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night at the Bell Centre.
Julien called it the best game so far this season for Rask, who has built a 6-1-1 record as the starter while veteran Tim Thomas is on a self-assigned sabbatical.
Rask stopped Lars Eller on a breakaway 10 minutes into the game, and got a break in the second when Plekanec was in alone but lost control of the puck and shot it into the corner rather than at the net.
"He's had the right attitude," Julien said of his goaltender. "With the high expectations, he's just doing his job.
"He's a normal goaltender, which might be a surprise to a lot of people. But he's so easy going. There are no issues."
The Krejci, Lucic and Nathan Horton line has been Boston's best this season while Seguin went into the game in a slump with only one goal in the first eight games.
"I was feeling snakebitten, but I'm glad one went in and we pulled this one out," Seguin said. "I feel I've been playing decently.
"I had a couple of goals called back. Things weren't going in. But we got it going in the third."
It was a mostly skirmish-free game for the rival teams, who stuck to strong positional hockey other than Montreal's brief letdown in the third period.
The Canadiens did not allow the Bruins a shot on goal until more than 11 minutes into the game, but solid saves from Rask kept it scoreless.
Subban broke the deadlock at 10:53 of the second with Lucic serving a high-sticking penalty.
The flamboyant defenceman took a pass from Markov and saw his point shot go off Rich Peverley's stick and past Rask. It was Subban's first goal and third point in three games since he ended a holdout by signing a two-year contract.
The goal drew big applause from the Bell Centre crowd as Subban did the leg-lifted "Joel" pose in celebration.
It ended a string of 16 straight penalty kills on the road since the start of the season for Boston.
Notes: Price left the ice in a hurry during pre-game warmups after he was hit in the groin area by a Lars Eller shot, but was OK to play. . . Prospect Blake Geoffrion, who fractured his skull in an AHL game at the Bell Centre during the lockout, says he feels better and is to see a doctor in Montreal on Thursday to see when he can resume training. . . Montreal scratched Tomas Kaberle, Ryan White and Yannick Weber. . . Boston was missing Brad Marchand, Shawn Thornton and Daniel Paille to injuries.

Turn in your Bible to Acts 27 and we're going to look at this rather lengthy chapter and complete that which we began last Lord's day in dealing with the shipwreck of Paul. Acts chapter 27. This chapter as far as its historical significance is concerned is really about a shipwreck, but in terms of the principles that are here you could title it Leadership in Crisis because really it is a portrait of a man who is a leader just when he needs to be one. It shows a man who comes through in the tremendous time of stress with all of the abilities that a great leader has to have. So it's not just a narrative about a shipwreck, it's also a portrait of a leader in the midst of a crisis.
I was thinking as I was thinking about that fact that if there's a premium on anything in our world today it's a premium on leadership. Whether you're talking about government or industry or economics or education or medicine or science or whatever, there's a tremendous need for leaders or capable people who can make decisions or people who are willing to let the buck pass to them and then handle the situation.
There was an interesting survey done in recent years of seminaries in America and the determination of the survey was that the vast majority of all people studying for responsibilities in the church wanted to be no higher than second man because nobody wanted ultimate responsibility. And I think that's not only true in terms of the church, but it's very true in terms of the world. There is definitely a premium on leadership. And especially true, I think, since leadership is so susceptible to criticism. But in the church I think we face the same thing. There needs to be a rising up in the church of leadership. A people need to accept the responsibilities that come with being a leader.
Now the world is really preoccupied with this. In fact, there is a rather constant stream of seminars and professional methodologies being presented to various and sundry communities of people to try to extract from those communities the leaders, and I'm sure they have their criteria for determining who is a leader. The same thing is true, I think, in the terms of the church and in God's kingdom and things that God wants to do there's a real need for leaders. And I believe the Holy Spirit is seeking leadership. I believe God is calling out leaders. In all of God's history as you go back in the Bible you'll find that God moved through men and that in every era, at every crisis time in God's economy there were leaders that God used to bring about the effecting of His will. Whether it was Moses or Joseph or David or Abraham or Elijah, or Elisha, or Ezra, or Nehemiah or whether it was in the New Testament John the Baptist, or Peter or Paul or whomever it was it at all points in time God had somebody through whom He could lead. And the tragedy so often of the history of Israel was the tragedy of an inadequate leader, an immoral leader, an ungodly leader or a leader who just failed to fulfill the obligations that are basic to leadership.
I think that as you study the Scripture the greatest view or insight you have of leadership is simply the example of lives of the men that are the leaders, and that is really the case here in Acts 27. Now this is a chapter about leadership, but not from the precept standpoint, but rather from the example standpoint. You're not even going to hear a word about leadership here. It doesn't even appear in the text, but what you do see is a man who takes control of an impossible situation and exhibits leadership ability.
In fact, as I thought about it, I supposed that leadership ability really isn't ever proven until you have a crisis. The only true leader is the leader who can handle the stress. The great leader is the one who can solve the problems and bear the burdens and find the solutions and win the victories when everybody else can't. The great leader is the one who can take the problem that is unsolvable and solve it. And Paul does just that in the passage, which we'll study. Of course, he does it with the aid of divine and sovereign power from God. But that's a great resource that we as Christians have.
Now you'll notice you have a little outline in your bulletin and you're going to need to follow that because you have to follow the map on the back of your outline if you want to know where we are again this morning. Paul is returning to Rome as a prisoner. He is going there to have his case heard before the court of Caesar. He has left Caesarea where he's been a prisoner for two years for Rome.
Now the trip occurs here in the 27th chapter and even into the 28th chapter and we divided this chapter into five stages. The journey that he takes follows five stages. We said stage one was the start, verses 1 through 8. And I'm just going to read it so that we can get ourselves in context. "And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band. And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we put to sea, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously treated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends, that is the Christians at Sidon, to refresh himself." We said that's a medical terms indicating that Paul had a physical illness. "And when we had put to sea from there," that is from Sidon, "We sailed under Cyprus," that is around the back side of Cyprus, "because the winds were contrary. And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia," that is along the coast on the map there where Cilicia is listed and Phamphylia is just to the left of that, "we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy, and he put us on board. And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarcely was come off Cnidus, the wind not permitting us we sailed under the lee, or we sailed under Crete off Salmone. And passing it with difficulty came unto a place, which is called Fair Havens, near to which was the city of Lasea."
Now that is the beginning of the journey. They had one ship, which was a coasting vessel, which was associated with Adramyttium, which was a small area way up on the northwestern corner of Asia Minor. The ship was available. They took it as far as Myra; they had to change there to get a ship bound for Rome. And what they picked up was one of the Alexandrian grain ships that was delivering grain around the Mediterranean for the sake of the Roman soldiers and whatever needs the Roman government had.
When they changed their ships and began the journey to Rome they ran into the headwaters and the headwinds as soon as they passed Cnidus, and you'll notice on your map that Cnidus is right at the point, and once they hit Cnidus they sailed out from the shelter of Asia, Asia Minor, and; therefore, the winds became stronger, the headwaters became difficult and they couldn't pursue a straight course. They had to go south, which they did around Salmone Cape and land there in Fair Havens, the harbor of Crete, one of the harbors. And so the journey began.
Then stage two we said was the stay. Having arriving in Fair Havens they had to remain there because of the winds. Verse 9, "Now when much time was spent, when sailing was now dangerous," remember I told you that there was a season when sailing became dangerous? It was totally forbidden to sail from November 11 till the end of March, but from September 14th until November 11th was the dangerous season and it wasn't wise to sail in the open Mediterranean so they had to lay up so long in Crete in Fair Havens that the dangerous season began. And he says the Fast was already past and that refers to Yom Kippur and if this is the year 59 A.D. as many suspect it is, Yom Kippur would have been on October 5th, which would mean they were way into the month of October and definitely into the dangerous season. If they left by mid August it's already taken them nearly two months to get this far.
Now because of this Paul admonished them and said unto them, "Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with injury or violence and much damage not only of the cargo and ship but also of our lives." In other words he said if we go any further we're going to have tremendous trouble. Nevertheless the centurion believed the pilot and the captain of the ship more than those things which was spoken by Paul and because the haven was not commodious to winter in," they didn't want to get stuck in Fair Havens for three or four months, "the greater part," that is the majority, "devised to depart from there also if by any means they might attain to Phoenix" or Phonica "and there to winter, which is a haven of Crete and lies toward the southwest and northwest." It's exposed in both of those ways. They wanted to at least get to Phonica if they couldn't make it all the way to Rome. That was stage two.
Stage three we said then was the storm. Verses 13 to 26, "And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing from Fair Havens they sailed close by Crete." This tremendous wind that had been so difficult for them, this westerly wind that had been prevailing that they could not handle, now turned into a gentle south wind and they felt that they could attempt to make the journey. And so they went a little ways along the coast of Crete sailing close by Crete because if a bad wind did come in they could always get right into the harbor at Phoenix and stay there for the winter.
But, verse 14, "not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind." This is a hurricane or typhoon, very severe wind called Euroacquillo or Euroclydon, sailor's name for it. It comes from two words, the Greek word Euro, east wind and the Latin acquillo, the north wind. It was a northeast wind, a hurricane wind. "And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind we let her drive." They couldn't get into Phonica port; they couldn't make it, they had to just let the ship go. And you can see the way it went. It just proceeded immediately out past Clauda, or Cauda right into the open Mediterranean Sea. "And running under the lee of a certain island, which is called Cauda or Clauda we had much work to secure the boat." They hauled in the dingy, which by now was swamped and would have snapped and been lost. "Which when they hoisted it they used helps undergirding the ship." As I told you last time they then frapped the ship, that is, with the large cables that were bound around it they tightened the wenches to pull the ship together because the tremendous wind hitting the mast was splitting the hull. "They held the ship together fearing lest they should fall into the Certies." The word quicksand is certies and you'll notice at the bottom of your map the Greater Certies. This is the graveyard of ships and they were afraid the storm would drive them and smash them there and they would be lost. And so they were driven.
Now notice it says in 17 that, "they undergirded the ship fearing they should fall into the quicksand, and then they struck sail." Literally lowering the gear. They lowered the mast, put up a storm sail to give them selves some control of the ship and tried to fight against the wind all the way. And you can see that their course took them straight to Mileta, or Malta as it's called today. And, of course, this is God directing them. There is no way in the pitch dark they were sailing in with all the clouds covering the stars at night and the sun by day so they couldn't navigate at all, there was not a way they knew where they were going, but God had a rendezvous for them at the island and so they went on a straight course right to that island without even knowing it. You can see the odds of doing that by chance are impossible when you see the vastness of the Mediterranean Sea.
Verse 18 says, "And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship. The third day we cast with our own hands the tackle of the ship. And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away." So they're being blasted as it were across the Mediterranean by this tremendous northeast hurricane. They've jettisoned the cargo and they have only a storm sail. They've endeavored to secure the ship the best way they can. They have tremendous fear that they're going to land at the Certies and be lost there because they can't navigate because they can't see anything, hopelessly and blindly they're driven on.
And immediately at this point Paul speaks up. "After being long without food Paul stood forth in the midst of them and said, 'Sirs, you should have hearkened unto me and not loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.'" I told you so. You should have listened to me. "Now I exhort you to be of good cheer for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but only of the ship. For there stood by me this night an angel of God, whose I am and whom I fear saying, 'Fear not, Paul, thou must be brought before Caesar, and lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.' Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer, for I believe God that it shall be even as it was told me. However we must be cast upon a certain island."
Now here you find the angel gives Paul the promise that they're going to make it. Paul has to get to Rome and everybody's going to get there with him. God gives them a promise. An angel spoke to Paul, Paul says, "I believe what that angel said because I believe God." Now God sets the stage to establish His reputation. They have heard God say through the angel, through Paul, that you're going to get there and you're going to get there safe. You'll lose the ship, but you'll make it. And because they have heard that God's credibility is at stake. Paul says, "God said this and I believe it." And now they're going to have the opportunity to verify whether or not this God of Paul's is credible. God is setting the stage to prove Himself. I know we're hurrying through that narrative, but that was review.
Now that brings us to stage four in the narrative, the shipwreck. And this is absolutely fascinating; so many insights here. Verse 27 to 41. Now just a footnote. By this time Paul had taken the leadership. I mean the captain wasn't leading, the pilot of the ship wasn't leading, the centurion, they were all panicky and the only guy left with any sense of cool was Paul. And so he just takes over. And I've said this before to you in this context; leadership is not the title you have. Leadership is the ability that you have. The ship continues to be driven by the hurricane. The struggle to stay afloat has been so intense that nobody has eaten for two weeks. They are scared; they are petrified, the panic has been stretched out with intensity all of these days, they haven't the faintest idea where they are, they don't even know what direction they're going, and here they are in the midst of this situation without any hope of being saved. But the apostle Paul moves in and tells them, "God says you're all going to survive." Now God's credibility is at stake and the real proof is about to be established.
All right verse 27 then gives us insight into the shipwreck. "When the fourteenth night was come," that is fourteen nights since they left Fair Havens, "as we were driven up and down in Adria," now Adria is not the Adria Sea as we see it today on the map. But the Adria Sea is not technically the Adriadic, which extends way way up toward the European continent. But Adria, in ancient times referred to the central Mediterranean, that whole area. And they didn't really know where they were other than that they were somewhere in the middle of the Mediterranean in the Sea Adria.
Well as they were driven up and down in Adria, and that gives you an idea that they had no idea where they were going because they didn't even know if whether it was up or down, about midnight the sailors deemed that they drew near to some country. Now can you imagine here they are in the middle of the sea and all of a sudden they can sense that they're coming near to some land. Now there's only really one way they could have known that at midnight in the pitch dark without a star in the sky, and that is by the pounding of the surf upon the shore. And if they could hear the pounding of the surf, they would be very near to shore.
Verse 27, then indicates that the sailors heard the surf pounding. It's interesting to look at a little bit of nautical insight into this. Now mark this. The distance from Cauda, on your map, to Malta is 476.6 miles. Now Mediterranean navigators have supplied information that indicates that such a ship in a gale or hurricane wind would drift about 36 miles every 24 hours. If they were fighting into the wind to try to compensate they would be able to go about 36 miles every 24 hours. Now if that was true it would take them exactly 13 days, one hour and 21 minutes to be driven from Cauda to Malta. You add one day from Fair Havens to Cauda and you have the sum of 14. So navigational information, nautical judgments corroborates specifically the fact that is in fact a 14 days journey if you happen to take it in a hurricane.
Now according to further calculations, and as I said at the beginning of this study last Lord's day, many archeologists and many historians have studied this passage for its nautical information, and so many secular minds have been applied to this passage. But according to these calculations it would be on the 14th day that they would have been less than three miles from the entrance of the harbor at Malta that today is called for obvious reasons Saint Paul's Harbor. So the nautical people tell us that in exactly 14 days at that speed they would be three miles from the entrance to Saint Paul's Harbor.
Now notice that Malta is a dot in the Mediterranean. You have to see here the providence of God, don't you? There's no other conclusion. The Scripture is so accurate. The soundings that they then took indicate that they are passing Koura. Notice that Mileta or Malta on the map, the very east point of it is called Koura, K-o-u-r-a, and by the time they would have passed Koura they would have been about a quarter mile from shore and that's why they would have heard the pounding. A quarter mile from the east point shore, three miles yet to go until they would come right into the harbor, now called Saint Paul's Bay.
So they heard the pounding of the furious surf being driven by the wind to crush the shore. Well, of course, as soon as they heard that they wanted to find out how near they were, so verse 28 says, "They sounded." That is they dropped sounding devises into the sea to determine the depth, "and they found they were twenty fathoms." A fathom is approximately six feet, so you can multiply that and figure out they're about 120 feet. And then they went a little further it says probably about a half and hour. "They then sounded again and found it fifteen fathoms." And even today it's interesting that the geography around Malta supports this very text, that these are very accurate features. "And they found it fifteen fathoms," so they were really moving toward the shore.
Well folks, that's cause for panic. That isn't cause for rejoicing because in the middle of the night at midnight in the pitch black of a hurricane you really don't want to hit the shore. And so verse 29 says, "Then fearing lest we should fall upon rocks they cast four anchors out of the stern and wished for the day." Well they only really knew one thing to do and that was to unload anchors on the stern. Now there's been a lot of discussion why they put out stern anchors, but the answer is fairly obvious if you study anything having to do with sailing vessels. They anchored the stern because the bow then would face the shore. If they anchored the bow the stern could float all different directions and consequently the ship could be pointed in any direction. If they anchor the stern then the bow is going to be pointed toward the shore and will not drift. In fact, if you just anchored the bow everything could be problematic. The water that is moving toward the shore could turn the ship around backwards. You anchor the stern the driving of the force of the water keeps the bow pointed toward the shore. And the point was that when daybreak came and they could see the shore they would just cut the four anchors and the bow would just point right in and they would go right up and beach the ship.
Now that was their intention apparently. Then something interesting occurred. Listen folks, if you're ever on a ship and the crew panics you're in real trouble. And that's what happened. "And as the sailors were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat or the dingy into the sea under pretense as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship." Those guys had a plot. If you can believe how panicked they were, they were so panicked that they were going to abandon the ship in the pitch-black night of midnight in a hurricane and try to make it to shore in a dingy and they didn't even know where the shore was and they didn't even know what was on the shore. They just knew it was better to hit the rocks in a dinghy than it was in that huge lumbering thing that they were in. And so in their panic they tried to make it look like they were dropping anchors over the bow, but what they were really doing was putting the dinghy back in the water, and once they got it in the water they were going to get in it. And they were going to cut it loose and try to make it to shore.
Well their plot didn't work because Paul caught them. He was alert. Verse 31, notice Paul knows how to go through proper chain of command, plus he was aware that he himself couldn't handle the whole crew. "Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, 'Except these abide in the ship, you can't be saved.'" If they get away you're in trouble. God wants everybody in this ship or nobody's going to make it. Well by this time the centurion was a believer because everything else that Paul had said had come to pass and he wasn't about to hassle him at this point. It would have been disastrous for the whole crew to leave the ship anyway because you'd have no skilled hands left when daybreak came to make the thing get into the shore the right way. And all the prisoners and soldiers trying to make that thing work would have had a horrible time.
And so the centurion listens to what Paul says and apparently he got excited about it and verse 32 says, "Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat and let her fall off." They just went over there and whacked the dinghy loose before the crew could get in it. I'm not sure Paul advised them to do that because they could have used that dinghy. They could have used it to get to shore later on. As it turns out they're going to have to swim, but apparently the centurion thought it necessary to stop them.
Verse 33, "And while the day was coming on," don't you imagine that was a welcome sight. "While the day was coming on Paul besought them all to take food." Now Paul is in total command of the ship. He is calling all the shots. Everybody else is sublimated to this man. And now he tells them all to eat. He says, "This day is the fourteenth day that you have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing." Hard work is about to occur and they're going to need energy. If they're going to get that thing to land they're going to have to have some strength and they lacked it after fourteen days with no food, so he says, "let's eat."
"And when he had thus spoken," verse 35, "He took bread and gave thanks to God in the presence of them all; and when he had broken it he began to eat." I like that. Two great keys to serving the Lord: prayer and a good breakfast. I mean that's a terrific balance isn't it? That's a balanced meal, the spiritual and the physical. So Paul really sets the example for them. He says in verse 34, "I beseech you take some food for your health." This means for your wholeness. It's a word that's used of physical salvation and of spiritual salvation in Scripture. But here it means for your physical wholeness, for your safety. "For there shall not a hair fall from the head of any of you."
Now you say, "That's a rather dumb thing. I mean who cares if you lose a hair on the way in?" But you see that's an old Jewish proverb. You can go back to I Samuel 14:45, II Samuel 14:11, I Kings 1:52, Luke 21:18 and in all those places you'll find that old proverb. It meant that you're going to be secure. It meant that you'd have complete immunity from harm. So Paul says, "You're all going to make it. But that's no excuse not to have a good breakfast." So you see the balance is here between the sovereignty of God and the perfect planning of God and the responsibility of man.
Verse 35, "He then became the example, taking bread, giving thanks, in the presence of them all and he broke it and began to eat." Well he just encouraged them so much by his own example that verse 36 says, "Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some food and were all in the ship 276 souls." Everybody had their breakfast. The courage of Paul became infectious.
Verse 38, "And when they had eaten enough they lightened the ship and cast out the wheat into the sea." Now they earlier had jettisoned a great amount of the cargo, but they never would jettison the entire cargo in the Mediterranean because they would use the remaining cargo as a ballast and to keep the ship down in the water to some extent. Also I'm sure they felt perhaps they would be able to salvage a part of it, but by this time it was so totally sea soaked, so totally salted that it was worthless. In addition to that when you're going to beach the ship you want it as light as possible so that it's as high on the water as it can be so that you can get as close to the shore as you possibly can. So they jettisoned everything in verse 38, all of the wheat.
Day dawns in verse 39, "And when it was day, they recognized not the land." In other words they finally saw the shore but they didn't know where they were. They didn't know they were in Saint Paul's Harbor because it hadn't been named yet. They didn't even know that it was Mileta or Malta, "but they discovered a certain creek with a shore." Apparently a beach rather than rock. There was a creek that was coming off the island and emptying into the bay and there was a beachy area there and they saw that, "into which they were minded, if it were possible to thrust in the ship." And so they said, let's head for that creek. Let's head for that beach area, that sandy area.
Well, verse 40, "And when they had taken up the anchors," and that may mean that they pulled them in, but it likely means that they just severed them, "they committed themselves unto the sea." They just had to go with it. "They loosed the rudder bands," apparently had rudders on the sides of the ship, which they had secured tightly. They loosed them to give them some kind of steering capacity, "they hoisted the mainsail and made toward shore." So they head in and they're headed supposedly for a beachy area by a creek. "And falling into a place where two seas met." That friends, is a very difficult phrase. Diathosao is the one word. The translation two seas meet may not even be an accurate translation. It probably means a shoal or a reef. They could have called it the diathosao in this sense. In the middle of Saint Paul's Bay there is a small island called Salmetta and the waters from the west and the waters from the east meet behind this island and it may have been that they assumed that the island was actually an extension of the mainland and when they went into that area they realized that there was water behind the island and where those two seas met there had been the pushing together of sand that created sand bars. Whatever the significance of it is they ran aground into the sand bars.
Verse 41 says, "Falling into a place where two seas met they ran the ship aground and the bow stuck fast and remained unmovable, but the stern was broken with the violence of the waves." So here the bow is stuck in the sand bar apparently a great distance from the shore and the waves, the tremendous hurricane waves are just smashing the stern of the ship and splittering it to pieces. And so there they are stuck while the ship disintegrates.
That brings us to the fifth stage in this record, the safety. And here comes the great ending, verse 42. And the soldiers were afraid of not only losing their own lives but of losing their prisoners, because when a Roman soldier lost his prisoner he had to take his prisoner's sentence, remember that? So he didn't want to lose his prisoner so the soldiers panicked. Verse 42, "The soldiers counsel was to kill the prisoners lest any of them should swim out and escape." So they were going to slaughter Paul and all the rest of the prisoners on the ship so they wouldn't get away. But the centurion moves in and saves Paul's life and all the rest of the prisoners could thank Paul too for having their lives saved.
Verse 43, "But the centurion, willing to save Paul," I mean he knew this. We've got to have this guy. Without him we have no chance. "Kept them from their purpose," he restrained the soldiers from killing the prisoners, "commanded that they who could swim should cast themselves first into the sea and get to land." You know everybody in the pool was the call. And if you can swim hit it and the rest, some on boards and some on broken pieces of the ship. I mean that thing was disintegrating right there and they were just grabbing onto whatever they could if they couldn't swim. Well you can imagine the 276 people diving into hurricane water, grabbing boards and floating debris and trying to make it to shore. But you know something wonderful?
Verse 44 ends this way. "And so it came to pass that they," what, "all escaped safely to the land." That is incredible, absolutely incredible. 276 people jumped in the water and 276 people met on the shore in a hurricane. Listen the first thought those people must have had is, "You know that God that Paul worships, He's right. His word is true. He said this would happen. Look it has happened. You see how God not only credibly establishes His own veracity, but He establishes the veracity of His leader, Paul, doesn't He. God keeps His word. Isaiah 40:8, "The grass witherith, the flower fadeth, but the Word of God shall stand forever. Isaiah 55:10-11, "For as the rain cometh down and the snow from heaven and returneth not thither but watereth the earth and maketh it bring forth and bud that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall My word be that goeth forth out of My mouth. It shall not return unto Me void, but shall accomplish that which I please and it shall prosper in the thing whereunto I have sent it." God's word is always fulfilled. Jesus said in Matthew and Mark, both places, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away." God's word is reliable and God established that in this marvelous incident.
Peter said you know in I Peter 1:25, "The Word of God abides forever." Jesus said in praying to the Father, "Thy word is truth." So God gave them the opportunity. God said, "Here's My word see if it isn't true." And this is the same test that God gives to every man in the world. The end of Malachi God says, "Try Me, test My word, see if it isn't true." Again here in this passage as God has done so often in the history of mankind and the history of revelation God uses predictive prophecy to establish divine authority. God says it will happen, then it happens, and that's convincing that God is who He claims to be. The greatest proof of Scriptural authority, the greatest proof that God wrote the Bible is the fulfillment of predictive prophecy. And the Scripture is loaded with it. Some of it fulfilled in the Scripture in the sight of those people God wanted to convince such as this, some of it fulfilled today in history that the convincing may continue to go on even now.
Now as I sum up this entire passage, and this is what I want to draw to your attention, a tremendously exciting, and incidentally we're only at Malta now so come back next week. I mean we haven't even gotten bitten with the snake yet. And from there on to Rome, but as I look at the section in chapter 27, I want you to notice some things here. You see here exemplified in the life of Paul the principles for great spiritual leadership. The principles for great spiritual leadership.
Now what are the characteristics of this man? What are those qualities that qualify him to be a dynamic leader? And believe me, people, this is a great concern because what God really needs today is this kind of leadership. Now what is it that really exhibits this leadership? What is it that portrays it or characterizes it? And I'm just going to take them as they come in the text.
Let's go back to the beginning of 27 and just pick them out of the narrative. Number one, a leader is loved. A leader is loved. Now this isn't always true in the world. This is always true, however, in the church. I don't mean that he's loved by everybody all the time, but I do mean this: a man who leads for God is an honored man, he is a beloved man. You'll notice in verse 3 that Julius allowed Paul, when the journey first began, to go to his friends to refresh himself. Now here you see a man who has taught doctrine, a man who has been a primary leader in the church and he goes to these people and they minister to his physical need. Now this is just a hint at something that we've seen again and again and again in the life of Paul and that is the tremendous love the people had for him.
You know some people assume that to be a leader is to eliminate people's love. To be a leader is to set yourself off from any kind of personal warmth in the lives of people, and I don't think that's true at all. I really believe that true godly leaders are beloved by the people they lead. If that isn't true, they're not leading as responsive to the Holy Spirit, for the Holy Spirit generates love. Very often we fail. We make errors in judgment. We often offend. I know this all from personal experience, yet I believe that even though there is offence and even though there are mistakes and errors in judgments and misrepresentations, and we struggle with the same human weaknesses and frailties that you struggle with, at the same time there must be in a godly leader an irresistible quality that makes loving followers or he isn't leading in a godly way. Titus 3:15 is supportive of this very concept. "All that are with me greet thee, greet them that love us in the faith," says Paul.
Paul knew that people loved him, even though he was a disciplinarian, even though when something needed to be said he said it flat out, point blank, nose to nose, even to people like Peter. When there was an issue to be dealt with he dealt with it strong and hard and firm and they loved him 'cause in spite of his failures and in spite of his strengths there was an irresistible quality that made him loveable. Jesus, of course, the strongest of all leaders who ever lived was so beloved that words couldn't even begin to express it. And the apostle Paul said, "you may speak with the tongues of men and of angels, you may come down with tremendous authority and resource, but if you have not loved you're what sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal. Paul said to Timothy in I Timothy 4:12, "Be thou an example in love." In I Timothy 6:11, "But thou O man of God follow after love." And so beginningly a true leader is beloved.
Secondly, a true leader such as Paul never gives up, verse 3. I mean that he was sick, he was sick and yet he pursues even in his sickness the objectives. If he was sick when he was there in Sidon, can you imagine what he must have been on the ship. 14 days without food, fighting the hurricane with all of the background of pain that he had, and yet he never quit. He's indomitable, it doesn't matter what happens to him he never gives up.
I read an interesting article this week about the tortured genius whom we know as Lawrence of Arabia. Lawrence of Arabia tried to retire from sight after World War I. Of course, he's a very famous man for his fighting in North Africa. But because of his desert campaign burned out by the fires of controversy over Arab nationalism, once he got out of that thing he went back to England and he tried to hide. What he did was change his name and joined the RAF as a private. He used the name John Hume Ross, but soon some reporter from a London newspaper discovered him and exposed him and so his cover was blown and he left because he didn't want publicity. Still craving obscurity the famous Lawrence of Arabia changed his name again to T. E. Shaw and joined the Royal Tank Corp. He rented an old beat up cottage near the camp where he served. He made it his home and over the door of the cottage he inscribed the words that reflected his inner thoughts. These were the words inscribed there and inscribed in Greek: What do I care. It's amazing isn't it for a man who apparently cared so much he got worn out and quit.
And I suppose that if you were to look at Paul from the human standpoint you'd have to wonder how a man could go through imprisonments and trials and murder plots and sickness and shipwrecks and whatever else that he went through and the pain and the agony of all of these things that we see in this portion of Scripture and never ever quit. He didn't know the meaning of that. I always used to think of what Buddy Young said. He used to play football in the National Football League and he was 5 foot 5 and 145 pounds and he used to say, "When the going gets tough the tough get going." And he'd say, "It isn't the size of the man in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the man." Well that was sort of like the apostle Paul.
A third thing about leadership, not only leadership creates love and leadership never quits, but true leadership uses good judgment. True leadership makes practical wise decisions, verses 9 and 10. Here they are in Fair Havens and much time has been spent and sailing is now the dangerous season and Paul says, "Folks, it is not wise to go from here." Now what I like about this is just this point. Watch. Did Paul know by this time he was going to get to Rome? He knew it absolutely didn't he because in 23:11 an angel told him that. But just because he knew he was going to get to Rome he never lost his sense of practicality. You see. He never became foolish. He never presumed on God to do what was stupid from a practical standpoint to gain what was promised from a divine one. He was not presumptuous like David said, "Keep Thy servant back from presumptuous sins." He was patient for God's will. He didn't test it.
Jesus, when He was on earth knew that because He was the Messiah, because He was the Son of God, He would inherit the kingdoms of the world, so what did Satan do? He offered Him the kingdoms of the world didn't he? But Christ waited until God's time to give Him those kingdoms. Satan tried to get Christ in all three temptations to jump ahead of God. You're the Son of God and You're hungry. Turn those stones into bread and in effect Jesus said, "He'll feed Me when He's ready." I'll wait for Him. Why don't You go off the temple, dive off the pinnacle of the temple and the people will acknowledge You as the Messiah. "God has a time plan, I'll wait for Him," Jesus said. I'll give You the kingdoms of the world. "God will do that in His time, I'll wait for that time if I have to suffer in the meantime." You see Jesus could never be forced to presume to be foolish about taking something that had been promised to Him. And so God's good time for it. Well so many people who do this. So many people lead people down a primrose path to a dead-end while they're presuming on God. Many men have done this in churches. They've got into monumental building programs or colossal expansion programs and you've been reading about it in the paper lately, haven't you? Where they've led all these people. They say God wants to win everybody. God wants to give the gospel to everybody so they become huge conglomerate corporations spending fortunes of money and what happens lately is the government comes in and they're all in trouble for breaking the laws. You say they presume that the end justified the means and they lost their sense of sanity, their sense of practicality and allowing God to accomplish what God will accomplish in God's own time.
Fourth thing about leadership that is important, I think, is that leadership speaks with authority. I think that one of the characteristics of a true leader is that he speaks with authority, that he knows whereof he speaks. Verse 22, "And now I exhort you to be of good cheer for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but only of the ship." Now that's pretty straight stuff, folks. I mean that's coming right on. "There stood by me this night an angel of God whose I am and whom I serve saying, "Fear not Paul, thou must be brought before Caesar and lo God has given all them that sail with thee. Wherefore sirs, be of good cheer for I believe God that it shall be even as it was told me." Now notice, here is boldness. Paul stands up and says this is how it is people because God says it. I believe that a leader must speak with authority and his authority is not his own, it is the authority of the Word of God.
There was an article in Christianity Today, which I read this week written by James Boyce who is the pastor of Tenth Presbyterian Philadelphia, the church formerly pastored by the great Dr. Barnhouse, and in the article he says this: "What is required of the minister? Clearly the first and essential requirement is a joyful and total commitment to the absolute authority of God's written revelation. Since belief in the Scriptures as the infallible and authoritative Word of God has declined in the life of the church generally, it is not surprising that the eloquence and power of the proclamation of this Word has diminished also. What is the result? It is well put in this description of a panel discussion involving a rabbi, a priest and a protestant minister. The rabbi said, "I speak according to the law of Moses." The priest said, "I speak according to the church." The protestant minister said, "It seems to me." And that's exactly what's happened in Christianity. It's seems to me. Where is the authority? The authority went when this went.
True spiritual leadership knows this Book and stands on its absolutes. No comfort if Paul gets up and says, "Well fellows it seems to me that we might make it." Oh, who are you fellow? Sit down and start throwing stuff over. True spiritual leadership is authoritative.
Fifthly, true leadership strengthens others. You know when Paul stood up and said that they believed that. He says, "Be of good cheer." Well later on in the very same passage he says, "Men eat," verse 34. I'm telling you get something to eat and they ate and they were cheered up. There's another characteristic of a leader. He leads. Did you get that? Leaders lead. That is they have other people who do what they do. They have followers. When they are strong they strengthen others. They affect others. This was Paul. I'm telling you the man affected other people. He made other people to be what he was. This is so very very basic to leadership and it goes this way, and I'm not going to take the time because our time is gone, but there's a great illustration in I Samuel 30. First a leader is encouraged by God and then a leader passes that encouragement on. David would go to be with God take strength from God and then pass strength to his people. A leader strengthens others.
Sixth thing about true leadership. True leadership operates on unwavering faith. True leadership operates on unwavering faith. Verse 25, "I believe God." Boy I like that. True leadership operates on unwavering faith. Abraham, Romans 4 says, "Staggered not at the promise of God, but was strong in faith giving glory to God." Tremendous truth.
Let me give you another point, maybe a seventh. True leadership demands obedience. True leadership demands obedience. A true leader never compromises. Look at verse 31. "They tried to get away, Paul says, accept these abide in the ship you can't be saved." You either do it God's way or you pay the consequences. Do you see there any absolutes? A true leader never compromises. He always deals in conformity to God's absolutes. And in the church today what we have so much of is that lack of authority that says it seems to me and the compromising spirit that has no absolutes. There can be no place for compromising on God's absolutes. Paul says, "You guys get in that water and you're going to get it. This whole ship is lost and you're going to go too. Unless they stay in the ship it's all going to be lost." This is absolute. We need people who are authoritative and who deal in absolutes.
Well another point, maybe an eighth one. A leader leads by example. Look at verse 34 and 35. When Paul wanted them to eat he ate first. Here is the greatest key to leadership example. We've seen it many times. He leads by example. This is the pinnacle of leadership. He leads by example. What I do you do. Boy that's all over the New Testament. Do what I do, be like me, follow me as I follow Christ. Paul repeats that again and again and again. And you know something; in response to all these features of leadership you have the promise that God is going to fulfill His will. It's a beautiful thing. A leader knows the balance between God's absolute promise and his own responsibility. He knows God is going to fulfill His will and yet he's practical and wise. He balances sovereignty and practical effort. He has a hearty breakfast to do the work, but he prays. You see the balance? It isn't just saying, God do what you want. It's putting myself to the task as well. And so we find in this marvelous passage the providence of God protecting His choice leader and we see the characteristics of leadership. And I trust in our lives that God has called us and placed us in positions of leadership we would accept the responsibility as Paul did to manifest the true characteristics of a godly leader. Let's bow in prayer.
Our Father we're grateful for the example we see in Paul. We're grateful for the strength of the man that is so apparent and so evident. We're grateful for the characteristics that are so translatable into our lives if we're to be effective for Thee. God I just pray that out of this congregation of people, out of this fellowship You would raise up those who can lead, whether it be the fathers in the home, whether it be the teachers in the classes, leaders in various ministries, or whether it be those who are called to pastorates, to mission fields. May they be the kind of leaders You would have them be. We ask Father that You would cause Your kingdom to be exalted, the gospel carried forth through this world by the use of those that You have called as they fulfill the task of leaders in the power of the Holy Spirit. We pray in Christ's name. Amen.

Bioware unveiled their new project at E3 recently, a cooperative multiplayer sci-fi shooter called Anthem. It's a departure for the story based rpg developer because Anthem appears to be a "looter shooter" and on the basis of the trailer is being compared to Destiny and the Division.
The premise of the game seems to involve going outside the walled and defended city into a hostile alien wilderness to complete missions while wearing armoured exo-suits. Combat appears to be a mix of gun play and Iron Man suit play with characters using guns as well as painting a group of targets with markers and firing a cluster of missiles from a suit weapon that seek out the members of the marked group.
A lot of the concerns I read in a few articles revolve around the fact that (A) Bioware doesn't make real shooter games and (B) Bioware is known for role play heavy games not shoot and loot games.
The game genre is listed as Online Multiplayer Open World Shooter, release date is tentatively fall 2018 for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

Brookville's 12-hit performance ties series
REYNOLDSVILLE – "Before I left Brookville I could see that wind whipping and I could see those leaves turning up. That's a storm brewing and the Grays are coming to Reynoldsville," said Bob McCullough to his players before the game.
That storm proved to be too much for the Sykesville Senators as the Grays thundered their way to a 12-hit 9-6 victory in Reynoldsville Friday night.
"We did a good job getting ready for that game, I had guys hitting this afternoon at the cages at home," said McCullough.
The extra practice seemed to be the winning formula for the Grays as they were able to match the Senators hitting, 12 each, as Sykesville traditionally out-hits Brookville.
After Brookville's sluggish start during its first at bat, the offense came alive.
In the second inning, after Jed Fiscus was forced out for out number one, Cole Cook and Eric Painter smacked back-to-back hits. After that, Kent Shick was drilled by a pitch, a role normally reserved for Fiscus.
With the bases loaded, Dan Buzzard belted the ball to left field to score the first run of the game.
Korry Lindemuth then drove in the second run with his sac-fly to left field. The third out came when Mike Sedor grounded the ball to third for the third out.
Sykesville was kept off the scoreboard for the first three innings, with Jonathon Weber, Jason Roman, and Jordan Weinzerl registering hits but never crossing home plate.
Brookville struggled in the third going down after only three batters went to the plate.
The Grays recovered in the fourth though, with Cole Cook opening with a crank to right field.
Eric Painter batted next and held his ground at the plate while he got hit by a pitch. Shick then advanced both runner with his bunt and also picked up the first out.
Buzzard then tallied his second RBI of the night with his sac-fly to center field. Lindemuth followed Buzzard's example and drove in his second RBI with a shot to center field.
Designated hitter Lindemuth was very productive at the plate, going 3-for-4 with a double, 3 RBIs and a run scored. The third out came when Sedor grounded to shortstop Adam Fox, who trotted to second to force Lindemuth out. Brookville was up 4-zip.
Sykesville was able to cut the lead during its fourth go at the plate. Kasey Clinton opened with a smack to right. After that, Weber continued his finals hitting spree with a two run homer that was just left of the bleachers.
Grays starting pitcher Glenn Stewart did not panic after the home-run as he forced out the next three batters, Tom Hibbert, Jesse Cogan and Weinzerl to end the inning. Brookville was still on top, 4-2.
The Grays "storm" grew stronger in the fifth. Shaffer started things off with a double to center field that he almost turned into a triple but hit the brakes between the second and third bag so he didn't earn the first out.
Walters then brought him across home plate with his blast to right field. At that point, Mike Gray stepped in at the mound to replace starting pitcher Jacob Knarr. Gray walked his first batter, Fiscus, to put two runners on base.
Cook then put the runners in scoring position with his bunt, which also earned the first out.
The bunt proved to be a good idea as Painter brought both home with his crank to right field.
Shick and Buzzard then provided outs two and three, respectively. Brookville had the 7-2 lead after its at bat.
Roman tallied a hit for Sykesville in the fifth but the other three batters couldn't generate any offensive momentum.
Brookville pushed its lead one run further in the sixth. Lindemuth and Sedor opened the inning with back-to-back hits. Shaffer struck out; then Walters loaded the bases when he slugged the ball to left field.
Fiscus scored his team's eighth run with a sac-fly to left field. The Brookville offensive was halted when Cook's shot was grabbed by a diving Weinzerl to force out number three.
Sykesville cut the lead again in the sixth. Back-to-back-to-back hits from Webber, Hibbert, and Cogan gave the Senators another two runs.
Cogan almost scored three runs with his crank to right field that bounced off the fence. By the end of the sixth, Brookville was on top 8-4.
The Grays scored their ninth and final run off the bat of Lindemuth, when he drove pinch-runner Zac Roller home with a double.
Brookville had a 9-4 lead when Sykesville took its final at bat.
Fiscus, who normally plays catcher, stepped in to pitch the final inning. He opened with a strikeout against Roman. After that Fox smacked the ball to right field to reach first. Clinton was the next batter.
He delivered his obligatory monster hit of the night with a homer that nearly cleared the bleachers in right field. Pinch-hitter Dan Waskovich batted after that. Fiscus sent him back to the dug out for his second strike out.
Hibbert approached the plate after with two outs, bottom of the seventh. Fiscus forced him to fly out to right field to end the ball game.
Brookville walked away with a 9-6 victory, tying the series at 3-3. Game 7 of the Federation League Finals championship will be played tonight in Brookville at McKinley Field at 5:30 p.m.
